The Vampire Diaries’ Originals Spin-Off Show Picked Up by The CW

That didn’t take long! The CW just aired The Originals, The Vampire Diaries spin-off, last night, and today they picked the show up for a full series, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

In a statement, CW president Mark Pedowitz said,“As soon as we saw last night’s episode of The Vampire Diaries, we knew we wanted more of The Originals — Julie Plec and Kevin Williamson have done a fantastic job with The Vampire Diaries, which is as fast-paced and well-written as ever, and Julie has created an equally compelling world for The Originals.”
